Ah yes. A nice, retrospective YTMND. Akin to the sfi-fi novel "Queen of Angels" by Greg Bear of a lonely space probe built with self awareness and sent out in the mid 21st century to seek alien life in a distant star system, but finds only bitter emptines

Excellent. Very nice work. And for those (very few) downvoters who wonder what's so great about this one, let me just say: It actually required effort and the results came out well. Doesn't have to be hilarious to be well done.
